My fibre connection is slowing down again, any help would be appreciated.
This is the BTW test result....
And further diagnosics...
Ookla
Plusnet estimate
Availability checker
BT, TalkTalk and even PlusNet give the following speed estimates, stating the MGALS as 25Mb
Openreach modem connected directly to the master socket and I am using a wired connection.
Is this really as good as I should expect or is there a problem?
Thanks,
Alan.

Hi there appears to be a problem your BT wholesale IP profile ie Sync to the fibre is at 17.4Mb which is lower than the low part of the estimate range which is 28.7Mb.
you should report a fault to get plusnet to send a Engineer to fix this for you.

Are you using Firefox browser on the BTw Performance Tester by any chance ?
There are known issues with speed reporting using FF, see other threads.
Can't comment on the other speed test site have never used this.
I current use Pale Moon browser for testing with the BTw Performance Tester, this gives the correct speed results as do most other browsers with the exception of Firefox.

Tiffy whilst the speed test itself on BTW can give a wrong result the IP profile is what DLM has set the speed to for the line at the fibre cab, that wouldn't be wrong it's lower than the estimate range and therefore a indication of a possible fault that requires a engineer to fix.

Yes, you are absolutely correct, the DS BRAS IP profile can't be correct for this line, I was referring only to the known issue with speed reporting by the BTw Performance Tester when using FF browser, to be honest, I had not paid any attention to the DS IP profile reading in the original post.
The FF browser anomaly with the BTw tester is just confusing if you don't happen to be aware of the issue.

Thanks for your patience.
I have checked the line from our side and we can see similar sync speeds. I have now passed this onto our faults team for you and we will liaise with Openreach and be in touch with you shortly. Keep an eye on your emails over the next couple of days for an update.

So after the fault had been cleared and the speed was running circa 28 MBs, the speed now seems to have dropped back again to 16 MBs!
Any chance you could raise with your faults team again please?
Alan.

Do you get any noise on the line when you dial 17070 option 2 ?
It maybe that all they did last time was reset DLM, but not actually clear a fault.
